...The cerebral cortex, also referred to as grey matter, is composed of four sections: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal lobes. However, the most important section of the brain is the frontal lobe, on the account it is responsible for executive functioning, thinking, planning, personality, and attention. This indicates the worries from the victim’s parents about his ability to go to school and his behavior may be validated. Furthermore, the prefrontal cortex has still not developed fully, so therefore he is still at a sensitive period. According to Sharon et. al, a sensitive period is a time in development during which the brain is particularly responsive to experiences in the form of patterns of activity (2010). The victim’s ability to...

...“What is that?” “That, my little friend, is Curtis. We treat him as an individual. He’s something new.” The pair were standing under a battered old sign, one that displayed nothing but a barely discernible iron ‘T’, heavily rusted after years of withstanding the gentle sea breeze of the Dublin coast. The owner of the building, Joshua Travers, was a greying man, entering his late 40’s and slightly wrinkled. His large grey eyes focused on the squat, purple-haired creature before him, ignoring the wind in his speckled brown hair. He removed his waistcoat and set it on a hook by the door as he and his son, a scrawny pale-faced boy named Davey, entered the decrepit, old building. Davey smiled at Curtis as the pair passed, receiving nothing but a...

...Character He stood by the corner of the streets, seldomgazing into the distance. His dark flaky hair, roughand odorous suggested the fact he hadn’t had the satisfaction of a bath. His emeraldmilitary jacket; oncetartan green now faded to light grey, covered the untucked, split, and sweat-stained shirt which lay buried underneath. Filled with filth, the old pair of jeans he wore wascut in his knees and reposed four inches above his broad-brush ankles, uncovering the putrefaction that was deep within him. The greyness of everything that surrounded him gave the impression that the lingering shroud of darkness had consumed the sunlight, which once shone upon him that soon warred its way below the horizon of animaginary forest. The stillness in his eyes reminded me of the frozen souls who stood inanimately to the waning glare of the sun casting shadows of the figures of the deceased in a world only he knew of. A startlingly lissom, slender nose was above a distorted mouth with a smear of lines at the corners giving him the face of someone who smiled regularly, but his stiff jaw gave a portrait of a man who knew only one thing and that was failure. Looking deep into his eyes were two fiery balls with an intimidating nature. Hishair was like a grey ocean that swayed with the breeze of the wind. He had a mysterious aura about him, inflicting fear pheromones and perhaps even curiosity at first glance. He had vulgar eyes darker than the moon during an eclipse. My heart was beating furiously...

...was in your studio he never knew when to go, but would sit on and on until you nearly screamed, and burned to throw something enormous after him when he did finally blush his way out–something like the tortoise stove. The strange thing was that at first sight he looked most interesting. Everybody agreed about that. You would drift into the café one evening and there you would see, sitting in a corner, with a glass of coffee in front of him, a thin dark boy, wearing a blue jersey with a little grey flannel jacket buttoned over it. And somehow that blue jersey and the grey jacket with the sleeves that were too short gave him the air of a boy that has made up his mind to run away to sea. Who has run away, in fact, and will get up in a moment and sling a knotted handkerchief containing his nightshirt and his mother's picture on the end of a stick, and walk out into the night and be drowned. . . . Stumble over the wharf edge on his way to the ship, even. . . . He had black close-cropped hair, grey eyes with long [Page 219] lashes, white cheeks and a mouth pouting as though he were determined not to cry. . . . How could one resist him? Oh, one's heart was wrung at sight. And, as if that were not enough, there was his trick of blushing. . . . Whenever the waiter came near him he turned crimson–he might have been just out of prison and the waiter in the know. . . . "Who is he, my dear? Do you know?" "Yes. His name is Ian French. Painter.

...ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up two cotton plugs soaked in twodifferent substances (HCl and NH4OH) were inserted into the two ends of the glass tube.The substance with the lighter molecular weight value (NH4OH, M = 35.0459 g/mole) diffused at a faster rate (dAve = 25.8cm), resulting in the formation of a white ring around the glass closer to the side of the heavier substance (HCl, M = 36.4611 g/mole; dAve = 10.8 cm). The agar-water gel set up was composed of a petri dish of agar-water gel containing three wells. Drops of potassium permanganate (KMnO4), potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were simultaneously introduced to each well. Methylene blue, having the largest molecular weight, displayed the smallest diameter (18 mm) and diffused at the slowest rate (0.3668 mm/min.). Thus, the higher the molecular weight, the slower the rate of diffusion. INTRODUCTION A substance in the gaseous or liquid state consists of molecules or atoms that are independent, rapid, and random in motion. These molecules frequently collide with each other and with the sides of the container. In a period of time, this movement results in a uniform distribution of the molecules throughout the system. This process is called diffusion (Everett and Everett, n.d.). Diffusion occurs naturally, with the net movement of particles flowing...

Because of the water element, material particles bind together and adhere to one another. 3) Heat Element - This is the principle of heat by which all material phenomena possess some degree of heat. Even when a particular substance feels cold to us, that is only becasue it contains less heat than our body. But every material body possesses some degree of heat. 4) Air Element - This is the principle of distention, by reason of which all material particles are in a state of vibration. By reason of the air element, material bodies exhibit a motion". (D. Hamma, 2014). ▪ New materials often lead to new technologies that change society.

Applications of Chemistry • Energy and the Environment • Fossil fuels • Solar energy • Nuclear energy Health and Medicine • Sanitation systems • Surgery with anesthesia • Vaccines and antibiotics Materials and Technology • Polymers, ceramics, liquid crystals • Room-temperature superconductors? • Molecular computing? Food and Agriculture • Genetically modified crops • “Natural” pesticides • Specialized fertilizers • • • Classification of Matter A substance is a form of matter that has a definite composition and distinct properties. An element is a substance that is composed of tiny particles called atoms. A compound is a substance composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions. Compounds can only be separated into their pure components (elements) by chemical means. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain their distinct identities. Physical means can be used to separate a mixture into its pure components. Homogenous mixture – composition of the mixture is the same throughout. Heterogeneous mixture – composition is not uniform throughout. 1 |P a g e _____________________________________________________________________CHEM 100 LECTURE PROPERTIES OF MATTER Physical properties: readily observable/measurable without altering the...

...The universe. What makes the universe? Galaxies. What makes up galaxies? Solar systems. What makes up our own solar system? Planets, moons, asteroids, and one star. What makes up our planet? The atmosphere, solid earth, water, plants, animals, and people. What makes up plants animals and people? The same thing that makes up everything else, matter. What is matter made of? Atoms. And atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons can be broken down even further into the quarks up, down, charm, strange, top, or bottom. What can quarks be broken down to? Theoretical matter aka empty space. How do these things work? Energy, pure energy. When you break it down everything comes down to either empty space or energy. How do you control energy? You control energy with energy. There are several types of energy, but let’s start with the most basic. Good and bad. Good energy is when the energy you are using or the energy that is around is being used or put to a good purpose. Bad energy happens when the intent is to harm or negatively affect someone or something. You also have physical and mental energy. Physical energy is when you affect something outside of yourself, mental energy is what happens inside your own mind. There is potential for mental energy to become physical energy (like when your brain sends signals to muscles to move you) but one thing at a time. First let’s focus on bad energy. Define “bad”. Well: “bad-adjective-having undesirable or negative...

...for him right now that calms him. Pondering how he will be able to come back from this shattering of dreams. He has a wife and kids to provide for, a stack of bills he has no idea how to pay. He stuck by his company through thick and thin and he was tossed out into the cold brutal world. He is scared how a low education person will make it in a world that has changed without him noticing cause in his eyes; he thought he was secure in his place in the world. How is he going to come back from this; how is he going to manage change? In the 1970s, to be successful you just needed a high school diploma, and then skip twenty or thirty years later people needed a bachelor’s degree. And finally jumping to the present to where none of these things matter and now a master’s degree is what people need to reach for. In my opinion, it’s a game like putting a dollar on the string. A person gets ever so close to grabbing the dollar to have it yanked farther away from their grasp. Never allowing the person to achieve true greatness; for in this world, change is the only thing that is constant. According to Mark Harrison opinion on the change blog, he has three key ways on change that I completely agree with. First thing is that people who respond well to change will have a high ambiguity threshold. Next is a skillful manager of change will have a constructive ‘internal monologue.’ I like this one for it basically is...

...Empedocles of Acragas developed radical new ideas about the nature of the universe. His philosophy of the four elements in the universe and the definition of matter as the various ratios of these elements foreshadowed later developments in atomic theory by philosophers such as Democritus of Abdera (c. 460–c. 370 B.C.). Empedocles was born in Acragas, Sicily. His father, Meto, was wealthy, and his grandfather, also named Empedocles, was renowned for winning a horse race in the Olympia. Empedocles is believed to have travelled to Thourioi shortly after it was established approximately 444 B.C. Empedocles's keen intellect enabled him to combine talents in philosophy, natural history, poetry, and politics, and to achieve superstar status in his day. According to the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 B.C.), Empedocles was the inventor of rhetoric, a talent Empedocles often utilized as a statesman. He became popular among his fellow citizens through his support of democracy. Empedocles's scientific inquiries usually included mysticism. However, his philosophies contained early insight into basic laws of physics, including atomic theory. Although sometimes labeled a Pythagorean, Empedocles followed the Greek philosopher Parmenides (c. 515–c. 445 B.C.) in the belief that matter (or, "what is") is indestructible. Empedocles claimed that matter was the only principle of all things and that four elements in the universe—air, fire, earth, and water—made up all things according to various ratios...
